I mean it’s hard to muscle through the corners but the front end is on rails. What gets me is rough trails cause obviously it doesn’t ride worth a shit compare to new sleds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I laughed because I’m doing old school right now. Only problem with sled stands is they can hamper track work. So, don’t throw out the old jack stands yet! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I bought a 2000 F3 800 to restore. It came completely stripped and in rubber maid containers. Super rare sled. Hoping to get it assembled over the winter but I’m not doing it without a lift lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased this Princess Auto one back 6-7 yrs ago and really like it. Like Zam said, not much room to work on the rear suspension, but other than that, I like it.

When you receive them and before assembly, take apart the crank cylinder and grease the threads inside with some decent grease. After I used mine a few times, it became difficult/rough to raise the sled, and even lower it, so I took it apart (easy to do) and seen just a tiny drop of grease that wasn't even making contact with the threads at all. I used some thick Bel Ray waterproof grease that I had kicking around and it made a huge difference. Any grease will do, however, but I like the Bel Ray as it sticks like a mofo.
